December Update (or downdate)

I went to see the cancer doctor today. For the past two months, there has
been a decline in the cancer-indicating M-spike, from 1.1 in early October to
0.7 earlier this month. This is the lowest it has been in six years. The
decrease coincides with the time that I have been adding (somewhat on my own)
low doses of a previously prescribed steroid to the incredibly expensive cancer
drug. The doc attributes the decreases to the incredibly expensive cancer drug
that is not hard on my body, but my review of the data favors (from a strictly
human perspective) the inexpensive steroid that is very hard on my body. Anyway,
we know who is ultimately behind any decrease and give thanks to Him.

As always, your friendship, prayers, encouragement and support are much
appreciated.
